It is exactly one year today that I decided to start this Blog about penpalling. Penpalling & Letters is my first incursion in the Blogger-world and, after 365 days, the experience is highly positive! I could not imagine that a year later Penpalling & Letters would have received so many visits from so many different places all over the world! Even if I always think that you cannot take anything for granted, you expect visits from certain countries (large countries with a large population, lands where there are many people interested in letter-writing...); however, I am still surprised that P&L got visits from some unexpected places as Guam, Kiribati, Maldives, Mauritius, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines... All places and all readers mean the same to me, even if I might get more surprised to receive a visit from Bolivia rather than one from the USA. Why? I guess this is a story for a future post... But coming back to the heart of this post, I just want to thank all the readers that visited, whenever you kept visiting once and again or you just passed by, to all the encouraging messages received in the last year, and to many lovely people I had the chance to meet through P&L!
And just to celebrate Penpalling & Letters first anniversary I am giving away up to 500 grams of stationery (in the pic you can see some of it) to a lucky P&L reader!
How to enter this giveaway?
It is very easy! Just go on reading... The only imposition on my side is that any "anonymous" won't be taken into account. If possible "I would like to know you". How? Just sign with a Blogger, Twitter, Facebook... profile. Or at least, leave your name and tell me you are in Facebook, Twitter, any social network, website... If I cannot find you anywhere, I am very sorry but cannot take you in. I don't think I am asking too much. I simply don't want to send a prize to a "ghost". And this is what you have to do to participate:
1. Leave a comment in this post and tell me (remember to leave a way to contact you):
- How did you discover Penpalling & Letters?
- What keeps you coming back to Penpalling & Letters?
- What do you like most in Penpalling & Letters?
Please, notice that if you would like to participate in this contest, your reply has to be written here, in this same post (under comments). Comments in Facebook or any other place around Internet won't be taken into account. Also, only one entry per person is allowed, so chances to get the prize are the same to everyone.
Taking part in this first anniversary giveaway is very easy! Everybody is welcome to enter and if you feel like it, tell your pals and friends as well. It is a good chance to get some cute papers from P&L! Deadline will be the 1st February, 2011, at 00:00 GMT+1 Time Zone. I will announce the winner a few days later. Good luck to all participants and let me use this first post of 2011 to wish everyone a wonderful New Year!!!
Hiya dear ^^ Yes, feel free to link back to my page ^^ It's amazing that it's been a year already ^0^ Congratulations!! I'm not entering the giveaway, because I have lots of stationery and won't steal the chance of someone who might want some ^^ But I'd like to say that I especially appreciate the polls you created and also the overall cheerful atmosphere on this blog, a lot of people participate in creating it and show us that letter writing is still far from being a lost art!!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
Hello dear Tanuki! Thanks for your comment and for letting me link to your New Year's post. Will do it right now! Time flies and a whole year has passed quickly! I am happy to hear you like the polls and the atmosphere here; more strength to go on working on the Blog! I also wish to your Blog and to all the fellow bloggers around many years online, and that all of us continue talking about writing, letters, postcards... always to maintain them alive! I believe that penpalling is not a lost art anymore while so many of us still do it! By the way, I still will keep you inside the contest. ^^ You took the time to leave a comment here and leave some words, and I really appreciate it! Happy New Year to you, too! ^^
ReplyDeleteI'll be greedy for stationery so I join ;)
ReplyDelete1) I think I first discovered penpalling and letters when googling penpalling, and then I saw link to it in other blogs.
2) I come back here because the posts are interesting and I can get to know many new things.
3) Hm, I don't know if I like mail or cultural related posts more. I cannot tell, really. Both are great.
All the best and many new viewers from exotic and big countries in the new year!
I am glad that you are greedy Aga! Thanks for taking part and for your time in replying to the questions! Good luck! ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, my dear!!! Keep up the great job and may P&L grow bigger and bigger every year!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe there are ppl out there who are a lot more fond of nice stationary and stuff like that than I am, so I'm just dropping by to wish P&L a Happy and even more Successful New Year!
Take care! *hugs*
Thank you dear Evi! These encouraging words are important to me so I go on working on this project. However, it P&L would not be possible without all the readers and participants, which means it is also yours!
ReplyDeleteI understand that perhaps you aren't so fond of stationery and such cute stuff, but as well as Tanuki, I will count you in because you deserve it! I also want to wish you a very Happy and Successful year as well as to Ivory Scenes!
Take care and hugs!
I am ashamed of myself for just discovering your blog tonight.
ReplyDelete1-I came across your group on Facebook by doing a penpal search. I wish I discovered this blog and the thought of becoming a penpal a lot soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your blog.
2-It is great, interesting, informative and fun. 3-What I love most about penpalling is receiving the first letter from my new pal. I make sure that I secure some alone time with my letter. I want to be able to soak it all in. I know that sounds a bit weird, but I treat the letters I receive as if I am right in-front of the sender.
I just shared the link on my Facebook (Shiloh Taclan)
I am on Facebook under name Beth Dodd-Smith. www.facebook.com/jaydeeslaydee. I found you on one of my pen pals' pages and another pen pal also recommended the group. I have been pen palling since I was 15 years old, and I will be 39 this month. I love receiving mail.
ReplyDeleteHi Shiloh!
ReplyDeleteThe P&L Blog gives name to the Facebook profile and the group, so even if you found the Blog after the group/profile, I am glad you found it now! Hope you enjoy your visits here, as well as to our group, and of course, you are in! Good luck! ;)
-I discovered your great group with some searches on Facebook about penpals and snail mail onces.
ReplyDelete-Hmm EVERYTHING :) Penpalling & Letters has a special charm, not like other groups, it always shows something new and I find that awesome! & because of it I got 3 new great penpals. <3
-What I do like most about the group is that it contains only respectful poeple, it gives you the possiblity to meet new poeple in short time (as I did :)) and have fun with receiving cute letters.
I'm Sahar Bakkali on Facebook.
And Happy Birthday :D all the best with a best continuation.
Hugs.
I have been penpalling on and off since my teenage years infact that's how i met my husband and we have been married 16 years.Since becoming a member of this site i have been lucky to find some lovely friends through it.I have suffered with depression and anxiety for 13 years and this site has given me the chance to find some lovely caring people and this helps me cope with my illness so much more.So a big thank you to this site and all my penpals xx

Happy New Year 2011!
Congratulations on your 1st blog year! It truly is an amazing thing what you do. It has rekindled my love for writing letters. :) I'd love to join your contest & I hope to win! :D
ReplyDelete1. I discovered Penpalling & Letters thru Postcrossing. I was browsing the forum threads when I stumbled upon your blog link in one of the posts there.
2. I really like the informative articles and the links you have pertaining to penpalling (penpal sites, stationery shops, etc.). I like how you feature many things & how you provide tips to people to make this hobby a lot more fun & enjoyable.
3. I love your interviews of people around the world and their own experiences of a particular holiday (example: Christmas). It's interesting to read how other people from different parts of the world spend their holidays. I also love your features of other penpalling magazines & sites.
You can contact me at: viridianzephyr at gmail dot com. Thank you & all the best! :)
I discovered you via Sandbook :)
ReplyDeleteI always come back to this blog to see if there is some new post with interesting advices or maybe new poll. I like to vote and to see the results :)
There's not lot blogs about penpalling, that's why i love love love Penpalling & Letters. And i just love your facebook page..
isollea at gmail dot com
I discovered you via Postcrossing if I'm not mistaken. ^^ I wrote the part about St. Dimpna for this blog. I always come back to penpalling and letters because I love all the information about how to write a letter and about holidays from all over the world, etc. I also like the polls. I think that I answered question 2 and 3 in one sentence. ^^ I'm also a 'friend' on facebook (group and profile).
ReplyDeleteI found you through postcrossing. I keep coming back to learn about all the different things you share with us.My fave part of this blog is the penpal ads.Thanks for the giveaaway!
ReplyDeletei discovered you by facebook,im an avid penpaller and was browsing and suggested penpalling and letters as a friend and as i love penpalling and 4 of my friends and 2 of my pen friends are friends with you i thought why not :)never no might find some more life long friends,
ReplyDeleteGood evening! Congratulations for your first anniversary and I wish many and many anniversaries and great success to come! ^^^
ReplyDeleteBefore I start, I don't know where this login will lead you to, so my facebook page is facebook.com/brunalc and I go by Bruna Lordello ^^ I also have a twitter page @brunalc , though I write in portuguese.
~ I am not exactly about how I discovered this blog, but I remember being here before! Perhaps I was surfing on penpalling sites and I came here! If i'm not mistaken, there was another giveaway going on here. I remember wanting to take part of it, but I didn't have a good mind to create a good answer.
~ I liked the blog because it has written everything that I needed as a new person in this business. I mean, I started exchanging letters when I was 11, but with a girl from my country. Sending letters to foreigners is completely different, as the lenght of the letters and also the style of the letters I get now are completely different. Also, here in Brazil I just can't find stationary anymore, the shipping to fly them in is very expensive, so here in this blog I found great tips of how to spice up my letters! Definitely I noticed a big change on my writing! :)
~ What I like the most about penpalling and letters is getting in my hands an envelope that travelled many days, across the world, from a place that probably Ive never seen. I don't know why but I a place that I've never been before to me is a unreal place lol. Very nonsense and random, I know ^^ But receiving a letter from someone, and also receiving pictures that my penpals send, is a way of knowing that this whole world is real! Also since I've begun sending letters abroad, I've been fascinating about cultures and it made me wanna visit every single country in the world and not only the "most popular" such as US and Europe. Since the beginning, now I would give my kingdom to cross the world on a trip and meet my friends that dedicate their time to write to someone they never met and also try different delicious foods! Also about penpalling, I like the fact that I've discovered people who live in completely different ways of life/culture and even so they can be so like me! Share same points of view, dreams...and they trust and really put the effort in a friendship with someone they've never met before... =)
- I discovered Penpalling and Letters on another blog in this wonderful world wide web. Someone linked here because of one entry and I came here and saw that there are so much nice entries.
ReplyDelete- I love the theme, of course. I am writing letters for years now and I love to read about this theme here. I like your way of writing about it and I love what I learn here. I mean I have a lot pen pals in this world, but not from everywhere and I really like to learn more about the pen paling world in other countries :)!
- I love your way of writing and the theme at all :)! Writing letters is my favourite hobby and I love to read about it here.
Love,
Fabi

Hi!! I am on facebook under the name Georgia Mystrioti! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150119914704052&set=t.100000838042471&ref=nf#!/georgia.mystrioti I am rather novice when it comes to penpalling since I've only found penpals after 7 years of trying. (Apparently I was searching in the wrong places in the wrong time!)Here we go, then!
ReplyDelete-How did you discover Penpalling & Letters?
Well, I found you through Sandbook.net on Facebook and as I was thinking of adding you, you added me back! I'm still so happy about it! Then I started navigating through your page and blog!
-What keeps you coming back to Penpalling & Letters?
The posts are too interesting to pass up, even for people like me who have a low boredom threshold! Who can forget mentioning the polls, too? The only ones I find worth contributing to!
-What do you like most in Penpalling & Letters?
Of course the posts with the letter writing tips! Seriously now, since I'm a novice, as I said, these posts are really educating for me! Now I can finally start penpalling with confidence, since I'm very chatty already and have taken care of those details that will make my penpalling experience special! Thanks very, very much! :D
Much Love,
Georgia from Greece!
I discovered this site three times.
ReplyDeleteI was a high school student when I accidentally visited this blog. It was new back then, and didn't have lots of polls at that time.
The second time was on sandbook.. before the time sandbook hasn't got a makeover. I just clicked on this site, but didn't explored or anything. I recall just visiting the tips section.
Until, I joined the Postcrossing, and participated in the postcrossing forum. It was then that I recall this blogsite, and from that day on.. I really put the name on my memory. It's because I always forgot the name of this site, that I also decided to follow it.
What keeps me coming back?
Since I started to follow, I can now read and be updated by the new entries. (Oh dear, it just started to rain really hard in my place ; ]
I try to read the experiences of the bloggers that I follow, and learn from them. It's an awesome experience!
What do I like most in this blog? Hmm.. that's pretty a tough one. What I found in this blog it that the polls are its USP (Unique Selling Point) for me. I learned things from them.
Congratulations friend for making it a year! God bless and More Power!
Congrats on your fisrt birthday! Looking forward to many more :)
ReplyDelete1) How did you discover Penpalling & Letters?
- a couple of my friends on sendsomething.net turned me onto the site
2)What keeps you coming back to Penpalling & Letters?

Cheers! :-)
Hi I am Angel from Taiwan!
ReplyDeleteI firstly found your profile on Facebook a couple of months ago, which is just great. Some of my friends are also mutual friends.
Though I have not been penpalling as long as other people do (I have only been penpalling for about two years), I really like to write long, and interesting letters, about everything and anything.
I like "Penpalling $ Letters", and always keep viewing the latest status so as to find perhaps some more new pen pals. :)
As I previously mentioned, I like "Penpalling & Letters" keeps sharing news, and also, some fun activities (for example, this activity!)! :D

ReplyDeleteUhhhh.... I can't remember how I found your blog but that was some 3 months ago, I think it was through Facebook but I can't remember. To be honest, I don't know if I would have found it again if it wasn't for the Facebook group of yours that as you know I'm really enjoying :-) What I like about your blog are the pools on the left - I'm a survey person, I can answer 1000 questions in a row :-) Plus it's great to find out what other people think and compare it to what my answer is. Also, you can see easily that the owner of the blog is devoted to writing and that's the most important thing. From the practical side, I love the list of websites with pen-pals ad and online stationary shops :-) Natalia in Poland :-)

I just love pen paling! It's so much fun and I just love talking to everyone of my pals!
ReplyDelete-I started pen palling when my boyfriend went out of state for school. This helped me because all my pals would let me talk about him and they'd listen no matter what! They're amazing and even when he's back I'm going to keep pen palling!
- I just love the letters! Who doesn't like to get mail? I'm always so happy to see a letter in the mail box and know it's some good news from a pal instead of a crummy old bill.
- What I like most would have to be the people, my friends. I've grown quite close to some of my pen pals and just adore them! Sometimes we swap things, which is always fun too!!
I love new stationary for I always like to keep my pals entertained! ANd lovely colorful stationary can brighten anyone's day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENPALLING AND LETTERS! :o)
